🧵 THREAD: Ahead of @DOGE_GSA 's 65 billion re-negotiation with the big contracting companies, I took a quick look at their awards.

First up: Ernst & Young. Uncle Sam cut them a $9 million check for—wait for it—a "Supply Chain Funds Reimbursement Administrator."

Forget STEM, folks—federal consulting is the real money printer! 🤑

Award: CONT_AWD_273FCC24F0052_2700_47QRAD19DU201_4732 @DOGE_GSA 🚨 HUD also gave Ernst & Young $838,195 to “improve its strategic approach” for... its own initiatives.

Translation: Nearly a million bucks to shuffle paperwork, check some boxes, and make sure they comply with policies they wrote themselves.

2025 SOTU LIVE COMMENTARY THREAD -

Disclaimer: Terrible at this kind of thing, you're probably way better off following someone else. Watching Fox News now. Lots of JD Vance. He is a once-ina-generation talent and hopefully he can be no. 48.

🧵 I was curious about this coordination, so I dived into this with AI and came up with a lot of names. Thread follows:

First off, the Senate Democratic Caucus operates a Senate Democratic Media Center (SDMC), which “serves as a one-stop-shop for Democratic offices looking for high-level digital assets,” providing video editors, studios, and digital strategists for coordinated content.

AI speculates that content was centrally developed – most likely under the direction of Senate Democratic leadership’s communications arm – and then executed by the senators’ communications staff in coordination.

But the rabbit hole doesn't end here. Hang on... AI speculates one specific person is leading this: Justin Goodman, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's former communications director.

And indeed, if you go to his website, his biography brags about him as “the chief spokesman for every Senate battle in recent memory.”

The International Republican Institute's website is down, supposedly to "mitigate expenses." But maintaining a mostly static site isn’t expensive. Does replacing a few biographies with an outage banner actually save money? Or is there another reason they pulled the plug?

@IRIglobal any comments? They seem awfully defensive here. Rich, particularly since they financed mass migration NGOs:

I received some interesting info from a credible source, as follows. @DOGE_TREAS may want to know if they don't already:

One of the lasting impacts of the PATRIOT Act is its requirement for financial institutions to report all transactions over $3,000 to the U.S. Treasury—a threshold that has never been adjusted for inflation. This data-sharing framework, originally intended to track illicit financial activity, also allows financial institutions to share transaction insights with each other under absolute legal immunity.

In practice, this means that major financial institutions effectively operate their own version of FinCEN internally, gaining a comprehensive, real-time view of global money movements. While regulatory safeguards exist to ensure this data is used strictly for financial crime enforcement, it's highly likely that the Treasury’s vast database holds key records on NGO funding flows.

Yet, there’s a growing concern that Treasury itself isn’t actively monitoring this data—outsourcing the heavy lifting to financial institutions instead. Whether due to oversight or intent, this leaves critical financial crime data untouched at the federal level.

Could this be why some are so resistant to @DOGE's involvement in Treasury systems? It’s less about routine transactions and more about preventing independent analysis of a financial intelligence goldmine. @DOGE_TREAS Source concludes: "Maybe this is why everyone is so keen to keep DOGE out of the Treasury systems. It isn’t about Social Security checks, it is more about people rooting through the FinCEN database."

📞 CALL SENATOR COTTON’S OFFICE NOW—DON’T WAIT. 🚨 SPREAD THIS.

Senator Cotton's office: (479) 751-0879
Senator Cotton's fax: (479) 464-0648

This is real. @JDVance and @PeteHegseth publicly backing @ElbridgeColby on X means one thing: his nomination is under attack. The resistance in the Senate is led by @SenTomCotton—and it’s not about qualifications, it’s about power.

Why? Because Colby rejects the failed ideology of endless wars. He’s a foreign policy realist who threatens the status quo. That’s why the establishment is fighting so hard to stop him.

🔎 Who is Tom Cotton really working for?
He’s a Director at the International Republican Institute (IRI)—one of Washington’s elite NGOs. While IRI brands itself Republican, it’s part of the same D.C. machine that opposes America First policies.
💰 Follow the money:
IRI raked in $130,689,289 last year—mostly taxpayer cash, funneled through USAID. While Cotton isn’t paid, the organization spends $12,173,741 on travel and $14,232,108 on pensions and perks. Meanwhile, it funds refugee resettlement and backs globalist priorities.

🚨 READ THIS TWICE:
If you're with IRI, you're with the global elite—not the American people. The only way to prove otherwise? Resign.
🔥 Don’t let them win. Call Tom Cotton’s office NOW.


@JDVance @PeteHegseth @ElbridgeColby Please do this right now. This is not a drill.

@PeteHegseth needs the intellectual weight of @ElbridgeColby in order to create a new direction for United States foreign policy.

Hello Mr. Eisen,

You have a long history with NGOs—Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institute, a tenure at the Anti-Defamation League, and most notably, founding the States United Democracy Center (EIN 861704152).

Your organization boasts an impressive roster:

🔵 Janet Napolitano (Director): Former Governor of Arizona
🔴 Tom Ridge (Director): First Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
🔴 Christine Todd Whitman (Co-Chair): Former Republican Governor of New Jersey and Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency under President George W. Bush.
🔴 Michael Steele (Director): Former RNC chair
🔴 Michael Chertoff (Director): Former United States Secretary of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush
🔵 Joanna Lydgate (President): Former Chief Deputy Attorney General of Massachusetts under a Democratic administration.
🔴 Tom Coleman (Director): Former House Representative from Missouri
🔴 Donald Ayer (Director): Former Deputy Attorney General under President George H.W. Bush

However, its website states absolutely nothing of what they do except a bunch of vaguities about defending democracy and a few papers.

The paid officers are getting handsomely paid:

⚪ Joanna Lydgate (President) ($382,382)
⚪ Jenn Fogel-Bublick (Chief Operating Officer) ($282,532)
⚪ Christine Sun (Legal Director) ($246,932)
⚪ Thania Sanchez (Research Director) ($215,227)
⚪ Gillian Feiner (Senior Counsel) ($211,443)
⚪ Elizabeth Ulmer (Svp, Communications) ($224,448)
⚪ Dax Goldstein (Senior Counsel) ($213,245)

Almost all of the expenses go to salary, with the "Other" expenses going out to contractors.

However, its website states absolutely nothing of what they do except a bunch of vaguities about defending democracy.

So, I was wondering... what do you guys actually do?

Turns out ... you have a YouTube channel and last year, you produced a very expensive-looking Muppet show.

That's what you spend your 17 million dollars on. Muppets that have less than 200 views. That's your idea of election security. Creating animated puppet shows that nobody watches to lecture nonexistent viewers on election safety.

Oh, and they're definitely produced by you, because I went to one of the websites linked in the video and it says "State United Democracy Center" at the bottom.

Tell me, who the hell is donating you to do this? And why should we trust any of you neoconservatives with the responsibility of safeguarding "Democracy" and elections if your idea of doing so is producing puppet shows?


@NormEisen @MSNBC @CapehartJ I have helpfully uploaded one of your Muppet productions for all to see:

🧵 THREAD: THE ILLUSION OF GLOBALISM

@JDVance was correct to call out the hypocrisy of European bureacrats. Politicians constantly preach “democracy” while pushing censorship, media control, and speech restrictions.

Why? Because their version of democracy isn’t about you. It’s about them staying in power, and NGOs are a large part of that equation.

I will explain why below. 👇 👑 GLOBALISM DOESN’T EXIST—IT’S FEUDALISM 👑

Forget “nationalism vs. globalism.” That’s a distraction. The Western world operates as a feudal system, where a small ruling class—modern nobles—hoard power and fear being overthrown.

In their minds, the U.S. isn’t governed by the three branches (Legislative, Executive, Judicial). That’s just a façade. The real power structure looks very different—one where NGOs, bureaucrats, and institutional elites dictate policy from above.

🧵 THREAD: ✈️ Political Travel Perks on Your Dime! 💰

I developed a new tool to uncover taxpayer-funded travel spending by politically connected organizations. What I found was shocking—millions spent on travel, often by groups with deep political ties.

Our favorite Uniparty NGOs were among the leads:

🔎 International Republican Institute (IRI) (EIN 521340267) – Nearly $12.2 million in travel expenses (9% of all receipts), with 96.65% of funding from taxpayers.

🔎 National Democratic Institute (NDI) (EIN 521338892) – Spent $13.8 million on travel (8% of all receipts) while getting 97.46% of its funding from taxpayers. Link to the new tool: datarepublican.com/nonprofit/asse…

🚨 NEW TOOL: BULK PRINCIPAL OFFICER SEARCH 🚨
🔎 FIND THE CONNECTIONS. ANALYZE THE RESULTS. 💰

I’ve just launched a Bulk Principal Officer Search, making it easier than ever to investigate nonprofit leadership at scale.

Ask your favorite AI to give you a list of any names (e.g., journalists, Treasury officials, judges), separated by line breaks and copy & paste!

Here’s what’s new:
✅ Batch Search Up to 100 Names – Instantly look up multiple principal officers in one go.
✅ Asynchronous Streaming Results – Get results as they come in, no more waiting for the entire batch to finish.

🧵THE UNIPARTY UNMASKED – They Believe They Are “Democracy”

The seven NGOs in the chart below, in my view, represent the Uniparty. Each of these organizations receives substantial financial support from USAID or the Department of State.

Around 2019, the phrase “democracy in danger” began to dominate public discourse, amplified by the media. This was odd—after all, the U.S. is a democracy (or more precisely, a constitutional republic). But as I traced the influence of these NGOs, a pattern emerged: they are controlled by establishment politicians, they play a major role in shaping political narratives worldwide, and their core mission is always framed as “protecting democracy.”

Originally, these NGOs were created to support U.S. democratic efforts abroad—many of them emerging during the Cold War to combat the spread of communism. But with the fall of the Soviet Union, their original purpose faded. Instead of dissolving, they redefined their mission. Now, they have positioned themselves as the guardians of democracy itself.

This shift explains why Trump’s re-election was framed as a "threat to democracy." To these NGOs, “democracy” means themselves. Their survival depends on maintaining that role, and any challenge to their authority is perceived as a direct attack on democracy itself. Please note that @MikeBenzCyber is the expert on this topic—I’m just a technical person researching and learning alongside all of you.

To understand how these NGOs connect to democracy, let’s take a look at what AI says about the purpose of each one:

🧵DEEP DIVE INTO THE AUTHORS.
Lawrence Summers met with Jeffrey Epstein more than a dozen times after Epstein’s conviction—then took a $110,000 donation from him for his wife’s nonprofit, which made poetry videos. This was in 2016, so the records are not in my datset.

https://twitter.com/LHSummers/status/1888923226585113038

Robert Rubin cofounded the Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution.

The Brookings Institution is a direct recipient of nearly a million dollars in federal awards as well as a recipient of many university grants.

Brookings Institution is led by Democratic powerhouses - Cecilia Rouse, former Biden & Obama economic adviser. Strobe Talbott, ex-Deputy Secretary of State under Clinton. John R. Allen, Obama’s Special Envoy vs. ISIL.

🔍 HOW TO READ THE DATA: TURNING POINT DOES NOT RECEIVE USAID DOLLARS
USAID grant money is everywhere. It’s so deeply woven into the nonprofit world that tracing it is like testing $100 bills for cocaine—at a certain scale, every charity has some residue.

That’s why the disclaimer at the top of the website exists:

**"NOTE: Funding is fungible, meaning USAID dollars do not directly flow into these NGOs in a literal sense. Instead, the money moves through multiple layers, with various entities handling and redistributing it.

Rather than focusing solely on individual grants or making definitive statements about how NGOs benefit from USAID, it’s more important to recognize the broader pattern of funding distribution and influence—and to cut through the layers of unaccountability."**

So, how do you determine if an NGO is truly dependent on USAID money? Context matters.

Let’s go back to the cocaine analogy: Every $100 bill has trace amounts, but a drug dealer’s cash will be covered in it. The same logic applies here.

🔹 Look at the graph on the left. That’s Defending Democracy Together Institute, Bill Kristol’s group. Over half of their funding comes from major grants. That’s a lot of cocaine.

🔹 Now, compare it to Turning Point USA on the right. Their USAID connections are multiple hops away and bottlenecked by the smallest possible intermediary grants. Even with the most extreme assumptions, only 0.2% of their funding could possibly come from this path.

This isn’t just theory for me. I worked with Charlie Kirk during the 2024 election on early voting analysis. I saw firsthand how his operation worked, and I can say with confidence: President Trump would not have won re-election without him. He flipped voter registrations on their head and made a direct push for young male voters.

Bottom line: These graphs are tools, not verdicts. Use them wisely.
Please RT and share.

I used AI to help come up with the clearest explanation of the Uniparty possible.

The Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening (CEPPS) is a coalition of three organizations:

✅ International Republican Institute (IRI) – Aligns with center-right and conservative political groups.
✅ National Democratic Institute (NDI) – Works with center-left and progressive groups.
✅ International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) – Focuses on electoral integrity and administration.

USAID:
💰 CEPPS operates under funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to promote democracy, elections, and political party development worldwide.

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), another USAID entity, also supports IRI and NDI, along with other initiatives globally.

In summary: USAID and NED provide funding, CEPPS (via IRI, NDI, and IFES) implements programs, and IRI/NDI engage with political parties abroad, mirroring the U.S. Republican and Democratic Party structures. Follow @EaglesTTT . He is doing a lot of manual auditing / accounting on this that my data is not going to pick up - for instance, IRI reported no grants on their form 990, but then in their audit they reported financing refugee-related NGOs.
